Professional Line Cleaning
Is Your “Clean” Draft System Costing You Money?
If your draft beer isn’t pouring perfectly, the problem may be your cleaning method. Many distributors use a traditional “pressure pot” system that simply floods your lines with chemical and hopes for the best. This method often fails to remove the microscopic buildup of yeast and bacteria, leading to a noticeable “skunkiness” in your beer, excessive foam, and negative customer experiences.
At Draft Doctor of DFW, we believe crystal-clear draft lines are essential for superior taste and increased sales. We eliminate these problems with our advanced pump-driven cleaning technology. Our system delivers a high-speed, turbulent flow that aggressively scrubs and sanitizes every inch of your lines, ensuring a truly spotless result.
Did you know that regular, professional draft line cleaning can increase your beer sales by 7-10%? When customers consistently receive brewery-fresh, perfectly poured pints, they’re more likely to order another round and become loyal patrons.
Our Professional Draft System Cleaning Process
We strictly follow the Brewer’s Association guidelines for maintaining peak draft system hygiene and performance. Here’s a simple breakdown of our comprehensive cleaning and maintenance schedule:
Bi-Weekly Cleaning (Every 14 Days)
This routine keeps your system fresh, your beer tasting great, and your customers coming back for more. We use a powerful pump to circulate specialized cleaning chemicals at 2 gallons per minute, ensuring a thorough cleanse every time. Our bi-weekly service includes:
- Line Cleaning: We use a powerful caustic line-cleaning chemical to eliminate organic residue, yeast, and bacterial buildup.
- Faucet Maintenance: All faucets are completely disassembled and meticulously cleaned to prevent mold and off-flavors.
- Keg Couplers: We scrub all keg couplers (the part that taps the keg) to ensure they’re free of any gunk that can impact taste and flow.
- FOB-Stop Devices: FOB-stops are cleaned in-line, with chemicals fully purged through the drain hose, ensuring efficient operation.
Quarterly Maintenance (Every Three Months)
- De-stoning Draft Lines: We use an acid line cleaning chemical to remove stubborn beer stone deposits. This inorganic buildup can cause cloudy beer, off-flavors, and restrict flow, directly impacting your beer quality and profits.
Semi-Annual Maintenance (Every Six Months)
These deeper cleans help prevent long-term issues and extend your valuable system’s lifespan:
- Detailed FOB-Stop Cleaning: All FOB-stop devices are disassembled and thoroughly cleaned for comprehensive hygiene and reliable performance.
- Coupler Maintenance: We completely disassemble and meticulously clean all couplers to ensure every component is free of residue and operating smoothly.
Important Considerations for Maximum Profitability
If your draft system is older, has known issues, or hasn’t been cleaned regularly, it might need more frequent and intensive cleaning. We’ll adjust our maintenance schedule to ensure your system operates efficiently and safely. Remember: clean lines lead to better-tasting beer and higher profits.
